Payments are now showing up in the AdSense payment history, with a date of Monday, October 27th. This does not neccessarily mean they were mailed out on Monday, but mailed sometime between Monday and Thursday October 30th.

Checks are mailed from New York, so people on the east coast might receive them as early as today or Saturday. The rest of the US should receive them by the end of next week. And other countries should be receiving checks within the next few weeks, depending on how quick mail service is to your country. Google dooesn't control how quickly it takes mail to reach you ;)

So what's the over/under on how many "has anybody else gotten their check yet?" posts we'll have this month?

My main account still does not list anything.
My second account lists payment having been processed on Monday too.

The main account is only 30 times as large. mmmm....

This means that you are making at least $3000 / month with your main account.... unless your second account collected that $100+ in more than one month. :)

This is in reply to sense_able's comment before the topic was moved here.

I'm a UK publisher too. In the past the Google cheques have arrived with me four days (near to Liverpool) after being posted from New York. With the postal strike on (and I presume that airmail from America goes through London) it may be quite some time before either of us see our cheques.

Now with the mail strikes in England is a time that I would especially have liked Google to offer payment by direct bank deposit - but c'est la vie.

Checks have typically been sent out on 27th or 28th of month.

Well... The dates *I* see are August 20, September 24 and October 27.

I guess the first two were just unusually early (well within the stated "30 days from the end of the previous month").

Sorry, I meant postmarked.

Eltiti, the postmark dates have always been beyond the date indicated as Sent. While August 20th is indicated, my check was postmarked August 28th.

And not all checks are sent at the same time either. Last month, some people reported a postmark date one day earlier than my check was postmarked.

If October checks were actually sent on 10/27, we would have had reports of a lot of people already receiving them by now, and we've had none.

It is always that the same in the UK. Whenever you are waiting for something the mail man goes on strike.

Well this mail strike has been most puzzling. It started off in London but seems to have spread with unofficial strikes (secondary striking is illegal in this country but no one ever seems to get into trouble over it). Most mail just seems to have just been delayed as they were moving the unsorted mail from London to different parts of the country (which was in fact what sparked off one of the secondary strikes - making the situation worse). To think this all started off just over the London weighting too....

Postal strike in London shouldn't mean anything if you don't live in London. Most of the North goes through Manchester and Leeds.

Nothing showing up on payment history on 1,800 dollars from the start "October 17 to October end".

Nothing showing up on payment history on [many] dollars from the start "October 17 to October end".

The earnings now showing up as "payment sent" are for the period Sept 1 - Sept 30.

Earnings for October will show as "calculated" around the 2-5th November, and will not show as "payment sent" until a few days from the end of November.

UKFord, you previously indicated that you were earning $200-$300 per day [webmasterworld.com...]

That would be a lot more than $1,800 over a 15 day period.

I think most people here would like to know that what members post is credible.

Very strange...

I don't see any payment in my Payment history.
Are there more with the same problem.

Did you earn at least $100 in September?

There could be plenty of explanations for this, rather than jumping to the conclusion that UKFord is being less than truthful with what his/her earnings are.

First, the $200-300 per day figure would have been for October. The $1800 figure would have been for September.

Perhaps UKFord only began running AdSense in mid-September. Or perhaps AdSense wasn't used on all the sites, or on all the pages within the site(s) in September as it was used on for October. Or perhaps it is a site with thousands of pages that took several weeks to be targeted properly with the mediabot, which would definitely result in much higher earnings once that was completed.

And with continued tweaking, and adding additional content, it is highly likely that publishers can increase CTR and impressions to earn even more revenue over the previous month. This is precisely what smart publishers would be and should be doing.

Just because someone reports significantly higher earnings from one month to another does not mean that person is not credible. In fact, that person likely has a lot to offer and share so others can do the same.

Thank you for your analysis; however, he said

Nothing showing up on payment history on 1,800 dollars from the start "October 17 to October end".

If he had been an AdSense publisher in September, he wouldn't have indicated the above.

If you've gotten your August AdSense check, let alone September, you're lucky.

I started with AdSense in July and received that month's check in a more or less timely fashion in August. But I have not received a check since--not for August nor September.

A query to Google yielded the intelligence that, in so many words, the mailing date is not really a mailing date (wha'?) and it can take--get this--*six to nine weeks* for the check to get to you. Huh?

Everybody badmouths the USPS but in fact it is quite a good service. Where I live, mail from New York usually arrives in 48 hours.

Anyway, it's been about nine weeks since the end of August so I sent another message to Google and they said they'd stop payment on the earlier check (what check?) and reissue.

I hope! So far for me AdSense as been a beautiful dream, but not much else.

So, just the clarify. It first has to come up on your payment history.

Then you can expect your Cheque (you call it check. We call soccer, football here too, you know :) ) sometime in the middle of the month proceeding? (give or take with international mail).
